Did you keep him behind you? :P

Cheers Matt,

ha nah i let him pass on the overtaking lane, i dont think i was holding him up too much (hopefully, sorry if i did) although i bogged down pretty bad in one of the tight hairpins as i didnt go back to 1st, was my first run up there though so i was a ltitle hesitant also as i wasnt sure what was coming... had a great time though.

Thanks for the comments guys,...

I'll have more Pics up soon > you might find interesting :whistling:

Interesting that...

* More people than ever had not done Mac Pass before > OK 'fess up!

* I nearly coerced an R35 owner that I met yesterday morning at Maccas to join the group > Pics to come.

* Juz has now revealed himself to want to take over as the Prince of Mac Pass cruises now that Princess doesn't own a Skyline anymore > and he wants to run them responsibly

* Lot's of SAUers want to become Members and reap the advantages > so I know you want to get your forms in asap

* The ladies in the above Pic love to get a close look at anything that's "cute", "baby-like", "defenceless" > like Nismo valve caps > attracting more attention than a Shitzu/Maltese Terrier-X at Bondi Beach

* Attendees have great pride in their cars and they all looked superb on the day > the only exception being cpd who sat on his :whistling:

The drive behind you was great fun.Video and photos will be uploaded within the next couple of days.:thumbsup:

Well this is how our (Maria's and mine) day started...

minding our own business at 8am (an hour before the Casula meetup)...

eating Maccas at Blaxland 7-Eleven when...

2x NACA Ducts appear in my rear vision mirror and park right behind me...

His name was Mick...

And he wanted to take Pics hehe...

Except he didn't know what an N1 was... :blink:

He went home to look it up on Wiki

I can only imagine what the 35 would be like to drive up the pass. The bends are quite tight in places which would work against the 35 with its weight and size, but with roads that smooth, and its torque it would demolish it.

Can't beat a third pedal for driver involvement though :)

Yeah, I hope I didn't infuriate the two GTRs behind me for going a little slow. :nyaanyaa:

grrr curse you alex :domokun:

nah, was all good, overtaking lane helped.

cant wait for next one.

hopefully the wife will come

Sorry! :nyaanyaa:

Yeah. I could tell I was holding you guys up, lol.

Me neither, next one will be awesome. I like the idea of having a Macquarie Pass cruise every three months or so.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
